How are you running 528?
Did you do an update from 511?
If so, how?_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

A good install of 528 should not be doing this.
Try a reinstall of 528.
Make sure there is no old 528 save file and make sure it is not trying to use the 511 save file._________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Thanks Karl Godt; I looked at /etc/eventmanager and it has no drive names in it.
I checked redraw icons in the GUI and restarted X. Nothing...
The drive icons show the same partition formats as running probepart does.

I did change one HD, but it seems to handle it okay.
Both sets of the HD`s icons all run pMount.

bigpup; A check of loop1 shows it`s the Puppy528 save file that`s mounted.
It`s done this ever since the install, it didn`t happen afterwards.
So it`s hard to imagine the SFS or Save files are corrupt.

Just wondering, what format was the messed up save file? 2fs or 3fs?_________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

ext3... But it was messed up from the moment it was created I`m sure.
Not the Save file was messed up, but the pupEvent configuration.
So the Save file didn`t need to be deleted.
But like dealing with WinBlows, fixing it would`ve been harder.

I have puppy on a special partition, my data on an other Partition excellent working for years.
But now puppy works uncomfortable: while initialising, programs like Skype, Gimp, Seamonkey.. on same partition are no longer automatically mounted. I must do it manually.

What is to do?
When I reload puppy from CD, how can I make survive the above programs?
Is there a simple restore?

Can a stable program like puppy really change by itself?
Can that have been made by MS? XP is not far off.It is on an other partition on same computer.

It is well known that MS destroys DOS programs like PCTOOLS with XP ,when on same computer.
